Thought it might be interesting to volunteer for a couple days on a project during our next out west trip.  Any suggestions?

I asked Mr. Google who suggested:

If you are going to be in Texas you might check this one out:

Bamberger is an inspiration to me. Learning about his ranch in TX was what inspired me to try to do the same here in AZ. We hope to start a project started in northern AZ soon. The area we are looking at, I'm told was once the western end of the Great Plains.

L Burton, welcome to the forum.

The secret to Bamberger's success is lots of water so look for land where water is plentiful and dig lots of wells as Bamberger did.
